Watching the spectrum of Your song I would rather say You need to cut a lot below 100hZ. Your bass boost causes some unpleasant "boom". Maybe You don't hear this on Your speakers but it is annoying. I would tun off the boost You showed on the screen and add some bass volume to make it glued to the guitars somewhere in the 200 Hz range
Messing with a lowest frequencies demands 100% trust to Your monitoring system or often more trust to the freq analyzer. Last time I made a mix I decided to trust 100% to the analyzer and guess what? When I was testing on the different gear the bass was always there but never made the mix "boomy" even though that on some speakers You would like have a bit more of it...but...that's the prize. It's 30% of the job to make Your mix sound good on only one set of speakers....very sa but true
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!!!!
Don't add nothing below 40 Hz! Not much speakers can produce that low freq...if You haven't got something like 15 to 18" woofer
Most of home speakers are not trust worth under 80 to 100 Hz. If You take a close look at the spec of many home speakers You will see that even if they write "40 to 20 Hz" frequency response it is usually like -7 to -10 dB on the 40 Hz...and even more! So when You will set those freq on Your monitor system at the level You like...someone with bigger speakers will have 10dB TOO MUCH of those and this is more than a lot
Even in the bass or bass drum we usually cut (matter of preferences) under 40, 30 or 20 Hz because those freqs are "mudding" You speaer and the cone is not working properly (I have no idea how to name it in English)
